Translator: ryuxenji Editor: H2dH2mr Han Xuya still wanted to say something, but beside her, Luo Chao actually covered Han Xuya's mouth with her hand in a panic, causing Han Xuya to forget to struggle and speak.
Luo Chao's action also shocked the other companions — was this still their shy little sister Luo Chao? Reflexively, they glanced at Ling Lan and sighed inwardly. Love, as expected, could drive people crazy...
Seeing everyone looking at her, Luo Chao realised that she had overreacted. Shyly, she put down her hand and hid behind Luo Lang. In an instant, the shy little sister Luo Chao had returned.
Ling Lan pretended not to see everyone's pointed gazes, maintaining her icy expression as she asked coldly, "What about the others? Do you all think you can't do it? "
At this moment, those who had experienced the flames of war on planet Demonbeast abruptly recalled how Ling Lan, who had only been 10 years old at that time, had already been proficient in mecha control, and had even consecutively defeated the Twilight Empire's X-series ace mecha squadrons. Without a doubt, Boss's mecha control had already reached a terrifying level. If they did not take advantage of these three years to catch up, once Boss's body recovered, they would definitely be left far behind...
Zilong's initially determined heart became even more resolute. Han Jijun, Luo Lang, Lin Zhong-qing, and the others were the same. They secretly clenched their fists, setting a goal for themselves in their hearts — not the intermediate mecha warrior Ling Lan had mentioned, but an advanced mecha warrior like Zilong. Similarly, they did not want Ling Lan and Zilong to leave them behind.
Seeing her brothers resolutely promising to complete the mission in three years, Luo Chao looked admiringly at Ling Lan. This was Boss Lan. Only Boss Lan could convince her brothers to promise to complete this almost impossible mission...
Without a doubt, in Luo Chao's heart, Ling Lan was definitely a perfect boy — strong, dignified, convincing, and giving her a sense of security. Although Ling Lan could sense Luo Chao's feelings, she couldn't think of a way to solve it. She could only pretend that she didn't know anything. She could only hope that Luo Chao's feelings would slowly fade away in three years and eventually disappear without a trace.
Just like that, Ling Lan left the Central Scout Academy with her friends sending her off. She returned to the old Ling family home and continued to rest for a while. During this time, the Central Scout Academy had sent over countless healing agents, as well as some precious cultivation resources, especially the special grade genetic agents. From time to time, they would send over a few. In addition to the genetic agents that Ling Lan was supposed to inherit, Ling Lan's body recovered even faster. Her body, which should have taken a year to recover, was completely healed in just eight months, without any hidden injuries.
After Ling Lan's body had fully recovered, Mu Shui-qing asked her to come to the place where he was in seclusion.
The moment Ling Lan arrived, Mu Shui-qing, who was already waiting there, opened his mouth to ask, "Do you know why I asked you to come here?"
Ling Lan shook her head, then nodded. Mu Shui-qing was all smiles, patiently waiting for her explanation.
Ling Lan said, "I shook my head to show that I'm not sure. I nodded to show that I know. Teacher, you will definitely explain it to me."
"Mischievous child!" Mu Shui-qing couldn't help but laugh heartily. Ever since Ling Xiao's sacrifice, this was the first time he had been so happy. Ling Xiao and his son were truly monstrous geniuses, always doing things that surprised him. It was his fortune to be able to take them in as disciples.
Mu Shui-qing finally stopped laughing and continued to say, "Indeed, I asked you to come here because I have something to tell you. I am one of your father's initiating teachers... of course, this is only on the surface. In reality, your father is my true disciple." True disciples and initiating students were two completely different concepts. Initiating students were just giving pointers to students they thought highly of, and there was no relationship between them. True disciples, on the other hand, were the successors of their faction. It could be said that this master-disciple relationship was equivalent to that of a father and son.
Ling Lan thought for a moment and said, "Then how should I address you? Grandmaster? "
Mu Shui-qing didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Just call me Master!" Since he was teaching her personally, then Ling Lan was his true disciple. If he didn't call her Master, then what should he call her? Besides, he couldn't care less about the issue of seniority. In their faction, once one entered the sect, there was only the relationship between master and disciple, and nothing else.
Ling Lan rubbed her nose, a little speechless. If she called him Master, then wouldn't she be on the same level as her father, Ling Xiao? Could it be that she had to call her father 'senior brother'? Ling Lan was a little conflicted.
However, Ling Lan very quickly became dejected. Even if she called Mu Shui-qing Master, she wouldn't have the chance to call her father, Ling Xiao, 'senior brother'. Since that was the case, why should she be conflicted? Having thought things through, Ling Lan no longer hesitated. She directly called out, "Master!"
"Good! Good! Good! That's my good disciple. Whatever you do, you must be direct and efficient. Don't ever be indecisive. In this aspect, you are much better than your father, "said Mu Shui-qing happily.
Hearing this, Ling Lan thought back to the impression that Ling Xiao had given her in the legacy space. Her father was still rather direct and efficient when he did things, really not as indecisive as Mu Shui-qing had described him to be. However, Ling Lan very quickly cast these thoughts aside, because Mu Shui-qing had begun speaking again.
"Our faction emphasizes on the basics, so everything starts from the basics. Right now, I will be teaching you the basic physical skills of our faction..."
"Er... Master, I already know this," said Ling Lan hurriedly.
Ling Lan's words stunned Mu Shui-qing. "How did you know?"
Ling Lan smiled bitterly and said, "Master, our faction is the Divine Command Sect, right?"
Mu Shui-qing jumped to his feet. "How did you know?" The Divine Command Sect had always been a one-to-one succession. Ever since Ling Xiao had died, he had been the only one left. Could it be that there were still others in the faction?
A smile that could not be any fainter appeared on Ling Lan's lips. "My father once told me."
Mu Shui-qing seemed to have thought of something, and said with a face full of surprise, "Ling Xiao's legacy space... so it was you who obtained it."
Ling Lan's lips curled up in a mocking smile. "It should have been mine in the first place." Ever since she had found out about the inheritance method of the Divine Command Sect, Ling Lan knew that the legacy space Ling Xiao had left behind was prepared for her.
"Yes, that thing indeed belongs to you... it's just that the military was a little greedy, that's all." Mu Shui-qing sighed. He could understand the military's actions, but there were some things that could not be obtained just because one wanted to... the requirements of the Divine Command Sect were too high, and the requirements for spiritual power were especially harsh. If Ling Xiao had not coincidentally broken through the barrier of spiritual power and risen three levels in a row, he might have missed out on the Divine Command Sect. In this aspect, Ling Lan's talent was clearly higher than Ling Xiao's, because Ling Lan's spiritual power was naturally strong.
"Since you've already obtained your father's legacy, I don't need to teach you the basics anymore." Mu Shui-qing was in a good mood. This meant that Ling Lan had completed her apprenticeship earlier than he had expected. Initially, he had been a little regretful that he had sought out Ling Lan too late, causing her to miss the most suitable time to learn the Divine Command Sect. This would make it even more difficult for Ling Lan to practice the basic physical skills, perhaps even taking several times longer to complete. Unexpectedly, Ling Lan had already obtained Ling Xiao's legacy, not missing the best opportunity at all.
"Yes, before father disappeared, he told me to find you and learn the final Divine Command technique." Ling Lan relayed the last message Ling Xiao had given her.
Mu Shui-qing was taken aback, but immediately understood why Ling Xiao had done this. Ling Xiao wanted to tell him that the successor to the Divine Command Sect still existed. He wanted to personally deliver Ling Lan to him to make up for the pain and regret his father had left him.
Mu Shui-qing's eyes were red. He abruptly raised his head to the sky, and choked out, "Ling Xiao, my son, even in death you were worried about this old fellow. So, you personally sent me hope, to give me the motivation to continue living..." How fortunate was he to have received such a fine disciple? Unfortunately, his master-disciple relationship with Ling Xiao had been too short, only a short span of 10 years...
Mu Shui-qing's words also made Ling Lan realise why Ling Xiao had not chosen to teach the ultimate techniques of the Divine Command Sect. Since Ling Xiao had completed his apprenticeship, he must have already mastered all the techniques of the Divine Command Sect. The reason he had not taught them was because he wanted Ling Lan to find Mu Shui-qing, and use her to tell Mu Shui-qing that the successor to the Divine Command Sect still existed.
Ling Xiao had wanted to use this to comfort his master, and of course also had the intention of letting Ling Lan take over his responsibilities, just like how he had let Ling Lan take care of Lan Luofeng back then.
Of course, Ling Xiao had probably also intended to train Ling Lan, letting Ling Lan patiently search for Mu Shui-qing to nurture Ling Lan's temperament. But he had not expected that Mu Shui-qing would be in seclusion at the Lin family mansion. Not too long ago, because of the assassination attempt on Ling Lan, Chamberlain Ling Qin had begged Mu Shui-qing to come out of seclusion, and had been protecting Ling Lan ever since. And when Mu Shui-qing had seen Ling Lan, he had been prepared to teach Ling Lan.
It had to be said that Ling Lan's luck was really too good — she had gotten what she wanted without any effort at all.
After a long while, Mu Shui-qing finally calmed down. He looked at Ling Lan, the affection in his eyes growing. Right now, in his eyes, Ling Lan was not only the only successor of the Divine Command Sect, she was also the hope that his good disciple Ling Xiao had given him. Now, he liked Ling Lan no matter how he looked at her.
"Since you have already learned the last step... then let me first assess your spiritual power. Let me see if you are qualified to learn this final ultimate technique." Although Mu Shui-qing doted on Ling Lan very much, he was still very cautious about teaching the final ultimate technique. It should be known that the techniques of the Divine Command Sect were completely dependent on the strength of the practitioner's spiritual power. If the practitioner did not meet the minimum requirements of the Divine Command Sect, then out of responsibility for Ling Lan, he would not teach them.
"Okay ~!" Ling Lan nodded. That said, her spiritual power began to spread out, quickly splitting into several invisible spiritual veins, each as thick as a finger. They flew towards Mu Shui-qing, but this time, Ling Lan ran into resistance. Because when she was about a metre or so away from Mu Shui-qing, she could feel a strong spiritual power forming a protective shield around Mu Shui-qing, shielding him tightly.
